About Bob’s Repair

Anyone that has hired a contractor in recent years for home repairs has faced three

problems: false information due to review fraud, hidden costs due to advertising fees,

and inflated prices due to lack of pricing transparency. These problems trick consumers

into making poor decisions and wasting money. Bob’s Repair is the solution. Bob’s Repair is bringing trust and fair pricing back to consumers by launching a decentralized marketplace built upon blockchain technology that connects contractors directly to consumers. Over the past three years, the Prandecki brothers successfully operated an automated Skilled Trade Worker Platform (STWP) that directly connected consumers to contractors, transacting over $1,000,000 USD in revenue and facilitating over 50,000 service calls. Despite this success, the founders recognized that the STWP could not solve the three major problems facing consumers and contractors in the skilled trade industry.

The Solution of Bob’s Repair

To solve review fraud, hidden costs due to advertising fees, and inflated costs to lack of pricing transparency, Bob’s Repair will build the Bob Application on the STEEM blockchain. The Bob Application will consist of a sophisticated iOS, Android, and web application. The Bob Application leverages blockchain technology to fight review fraud. The Bob Application will be built on the STEEM blockchain due to its three second transaction time and no transaction costs. The Bob Application will store all financial transactions that take place on Bob’s Repair on the blockchain. Then, when both sides of a transaction – consumer and contractor – leave a review, Bob’s Repair will link that review to the actual financial transaction. By linking reviews with actual financial transactions, consumers can trust that the review is real and unaltered. Real reviews, from real consumers, provides better information so consumers can make better decisions. The BOB token is a utility token that allows users to access and use a network of skilled trade
workers as well as a smart contract based escrow service for home repair, new construction and other service jobs.
